I don't remember which issues we ran into when building GDB against
a static version of libpython, but we've had to make a number of
changes to python-config.py. I do see in your output the one I remember
making for GNU/Linux, though (-export-dynamic).

The only difference in outupt with the script we use is an extra
-static-libgcc at the end.

JIC, here is our python-config.py, in case it helps in your case.
